The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are
responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the information included in the Company''s annual
report, but does not include the financial statements and auditor''s
report thereon. The Company''s annual report is expected to be
made available to us after the date of this auditor''s report.
Our opinion on the Standalone Financial Statements does not
cover the other information and we will not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Standalone Financial
Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the Standalone Financial Statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.
When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a
material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate
the matter to those charged with governance and take necessary
actions, as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.
The Company''s Management and Board of Directors are
responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act
with respect to the preparation of these Standalone Financial
Statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs,
profit/ loss and other comprehensive income, changes in
equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the
Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section
133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of
adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions
of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for
preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection
and application of appropriate accounting policies; making
judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal
financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring
the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records,
relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Standalone
Financial Statements that give a true and fair view and are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Standalone Financial Statements, the
Management and Board of Directors are responsible for
assessing the Company''s ability to continue as a going concern,
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board
of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the
Company''s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the Standalone Financial Statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to
issue an auditor''s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually
or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of
these Standalone Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
⢠Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of
the Standalone Financial Statements, whether due to fraud
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive
to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The
risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting
from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as
fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
⢠Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to
the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)
(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our
opinion on whether the company has adequate internal
financial controls with reference to financial statements in
place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
⢠Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by the Management and Board
of Directors.
⢠Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management
and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis
of accounting in preparation of Standalone Financial
Statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained,
whether a material uncertainty exists related to events
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
Company''s ability to continue as a going concern. If we
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required
to draw attention in our auditor''s report to the related
disclosures in the Standalone Financial Statements or, if
such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.
Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained
up to the date of our auditor''s report. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to
continue as a going concern.
⢠Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content
of the Standalone Financial Statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the Standalone Financial
Statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding,
among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant
deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement
that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought
to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with
governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our auditor''s report unless law or
regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when,
in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse
consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to
outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

and its profit and other comprehensive loss, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act.

Revenue recognition on sale of product |
How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|
Revenue from the sale of products is recognized when control over goods is transferred to the customer based on specific terms and conditions of sale contracts with respective customers. |
In view of the significance of the matter, we applied the following audit procedures in this area, amongst others, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence: |
|
The Company and its external stakeholders focus on revenue as a key performance metric. Revenue recognition has been identified as a key audit matter as there could be incentives or external pressures to meet expectations resulting in revenue being overstated or recognized before the control has been transferred. |
i. Evaluated the Company''s revenue recognition policies by comparing it with applicable accounting standards. ii. Performed testing of design and implementation and the operating effectiveness of the relevant key internal controls over recognition of revenue. |
|
ii. On a statistical sample basis, tested the revenue transactions recorded during the year by verifying the underlying documents such as sales invoices/contracts, dispatch/shipping documents and proof of delivery. |

iv. |
On the basis of lead time analysis , tested specific revenue transactions recorded before and after the financial year-end date to determine that revenue is recognised in the financial period in which control is transferred, based on the terms and conditions set out in sales invoices/ contracts, dispatch/shipping documents and proof of delivery. |
|
|
v. |
Performed analytical procedures such as year on year analysis to identify any unusual fluctuations |

|
Significant estimates and judgement relating to capitalisation of product under development |
How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|
|
Costs for new product development are recognised as intangible assets when technical feasibility is established, the Company has committed technical and commercial resources, future economic benefits are assessed as ''probable'' and expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development can be measured reliably. This involves management judgement and estimate and there are inherent challenges in estimating future economic benefits which must be assessed as ''probable'' for capitalisation to commence. There is a risk of development cost getting capitalised where the relevant criteria have not been met. Accordingly, we identified capitalisation of product development cost as a key audit matter. |
In view of the significance of the matter, we applied the following audit procedures in this area, amongst others, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence: i. Evaluated the accounting policy for capitalisation and impairment of intangible assets under development by comparing it with applicable accounting standards. ii. Evaluated and tested the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of key internal controls with respect to the capitalisation of product under development. iii. For specific sample selected based on high value criteria, evaluated the Company''s assessment of meeting the capitalisation criteria including the assessment relating to future economic benefits being ''probable'' by obtaining revenue forecast and market feasibility assessment from Management, making corroborative inquiries with the product development team and performing retrospective review of the products capitalised. |
|
|
iv. |
Tested by selecting a sample of transactions with high value criteria, for costs incurred towards projects by testing underlying back ups including sighting the approvals for timesheets by the Project Managers. Analysed and determined the costs which are capitalised are ''directly attributable'' towards product development activities. |

ideaForge Technology Limited (Formerly known as ideaForge Technology Private Limited)
Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements
We have audited the standalone financial statements of ideaForge Technology Limited (Formerly known as ideaForge Technology Private Limited) (the âCompany") which comprise the standalone balance sheet as at 31 March 2023, and the standalone statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), standalone statement of changes in equity and standalone statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (âAct") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2023, and its profit and other comprehensive loss, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the standalone financial statements.
The Companyâs Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Companyâs directors' report, but does not include the financial statements and auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
in connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material . Apmisstatement of this other information, we are required to report that feet. We have nothing to report in
this regard.
The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, profit/ loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the standalone financial statements, the Management and Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing the Companyâs financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
*    Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, orthe override of internal control.
*    Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(l) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate Internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
*    Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management and Board of Directors.
*    Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors use of the gang concern basis of accounting in preparation of standalone financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Companyâs ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditorâs report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify
our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
⢠Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
